builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels.
This may seem obvious."Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say."Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever.
I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front.
Probably should re- word unless you are just trying to create drama. - As long as performance is at at certain level it no longer matters and becomes about feel. Of course you went to college and already know that, don’t you?
😡👎🏻
No it still matters and it will always will
